Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor

Dr. Sherman was very intellectual and straight forward. He would tell me what I needed and would be very informal. This is a doctor who knows what he is doing.

When I called other doctors, all I got was an answering machine or keep pressing on a number until it got transferred to the secretary. The doctor with 5 stars had 3 different offices and the appointment schedule at my location was booked up until September. When I called Dr. Sherman’s office, the doctor answered the call. I was very surprised and I could see him in a few hours later that day. Needless to say, his office was very nice and clean and he took his time to treat me. I understand why someone would give him 2 stars because he was as young as other doctors and he did the old fashioned way. However, his years of medical experience was really matter. He pulled stuff and waxes out of ears and cleaned them in a gentle manner. I felt like 10 years younger now. I definitely recommend Dr Don Sherman to anyone. Don’t just judge at the low rating and go the high rating. It can be deceptive.

Dr Don accommodates my mom and sees her at 730am due to Covid 19. He is very caring and quite smart and very knowledgeable. Do not be discouraged because of his age.

This Doctor is the rudest docs I've seen in my life. He needs to retire since he keeps asking me a same question over and over again. And my aunt is his patient but she can't speak English and not sure about her allergies, then this doc call her stupid; he then told her how come she didn't write out her allergies onto a piece of paper. I never see a doc calling his patient stupid like so. Never ever go back to this cheap doc again.

He was too busy worried about a medical condition that I take medicine for that has nothing to do with my ears! Totally inappropriate. When he asked me a question I answered and then he argued with me. He needs to retire. Also they had me sign 3 insurance bills when I have 2 insurers. Sketchy.

He's a great doctor. He really took time with me and solved my problems. If I have any other problems, I'm definitely going back. He was more interested in solving my problems than making money.

Dr. Sherman Don is a great physician, surgeon and well respected by the ENT community. He performed sinus surgery on me with no resulting pain or discomfort. He has a pleasant and relaxing manner and is very friendly. It was such a pleasant experience I actually did not want to leave his office and was saddened when my visits to him ended.
